Let’s break it down.  You decided that a solar skylight tube is going to be an excellent addition to your home or office and you’re ready to purchase. But, you want to know if you have covered all your bases.  Below is a list of what we feel is the top ten considerations each consumer needs to know when purchasing a solar tube.  These considerations are not necessarily in order of importance because each one is very important.

Many Gardening enthusiast grow their own fruits and vegetables. It hasn't been until the last 10 years that there has been such a immense amount of information regarding the healthy benefits of growing your own garden and very recently information on growing your own garden inside.

With school now in full swing let’s take a look around the nation at what different schools are doing to lower their carbon footprints.  Many schools have begun to turn to solar skylight tubes to bring natural light into newly renovated buildings lets share some examples. 

In Pennsylvania, James Buchanan High School is undergoing a major overhaul to update the nearly 40-year-old building.  They are also installing solar tubes with the intention of saving on utility expenses and making the school more conducive to learning.

In North Carolina, Watauga High School installed solar light tubes in their school because of the construction not allowing natural light into some of their classrooms.

In Colorado the Ellicott School District 22 installed solar tubes in one of their high schools to allow interior classrooms to have natural light.

In Kentucky, Bristow Elementary is taking steps, including installing solar tubes and ceiling prisms, to become a net-zero school, which means it will produce more clean energy than it uses.

This is a great trend we are seeing.  Installing solar skylight tubes will brighten up all classrooms and they will allow the school to save money on electricity.  If you hear of other schools that are doing this tell us about it.  We want to promote this and get the word out so more schools will follow in this path.

There seems to be a lot of controversy on the web about which terms should be used to refer to solar light tubes, also known by solar skylight tubes and many more. To help put this controversy to rest, we decided to collect all the terms that are used to refer to these solar skylight tubes so that people can decide for themselves which name or names they feel would be the best to use.

As a company that provides solar energy alternatives, Eco Solar wants to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of Earth Day. 

As earth day approaches I thought it would be appropriate to share ideas about how we can give back to the earth that gives so much to us.  I found that I had no idea the size of my personal ecological footprint until I took a little quiz (I don’t know how accurate it is but it got me thinking) and it would take 4.1 earths to support everyone if they all lived like I do! Find out how big your footprint is...

We recently discussed some of the tax incentives to using solar tube lighting in your home. While this is a good reason to consider installing solar tube lighting, there are definitely other reasons why you may want to consider their use in your home.
